Happy New Year, (and oh, Check the shortlink, wink wink)
Jan 4th
Happy New Year 2012 Guys…. I know it has been a loud as hell new year for all of you, and I hope your fingers are still intact. xD
This year is the start of a new and rehashed The Notebook, NEW in the sense that we will be more focused more on anime issues than on my personal ramblings (there will be a blog for that, as I will explain in the foot of this post) and I will be more brutal, Brutal but with Responsibility in writing commentaries and issues that involves the networks’ treatment of anime issues and also the PH anime events scene.
And yeah, with everything new. I am also thinking of redesigning the blog, but it will be consulted first with ZEN’s Exec Ed for any approval, For now, I am in the process of moving all my personal blogposts onto my other blog account at WordPress.com (which will be self-hosted later this year 2012).
Of Course, we will still have the Segments “Ang Pangit naman Nito!”, “Sidenotes”, “The Notebook Exclusive”, “The Notebook Notepad” and “Rundown”, plus our main “Right off the Pages”, And I will also include some new segments as time progresses… and also I am considering opening contributions from you guys…. Yes, You! (of course, I will thresh out the details later this month both here, on my personal blog, my Twitter and Tumblr.)
For my personal ramblings, meanwhile, you can check out my WordPress blog and my tumblr account as well. I am in the process now of considering, and bidding out the hosting rights of my WordPress site, and I have two choices… ZEN’s current host, and an another top-caliber host. Don’t be surprised if one of these days, you may see on Twitter or tumblr a link to my first post on my self hosted blog!
Again, Happy New Year…. and join me to start writing again in my Notebook.
Headin’ Out!

April 21 Special: The Fourth Year without @eclecticmimicry
Apr 21st
This commences our second April 21st Special for the year, and probably the start of the more permanent April 21st specials which will mark our anniversary of blogging. We will resume the blogging of our Pundit’s Hat Part Two on Easter week, as I would like to reflect this Holy Week with some of my long, and hard thoughts that I just took to myself. Since my Multiply is now inactive, and I don’t have any personal blogs as of the moment. I would like to use This blog as my outlet.
This post also launches my tumblr. branch of my group of sites. If you want to follow me, please visit Deadlines, News Flashes and a Venti Frap
Again, this is my personal outlet and I would like to reiterate that all the opinions that are being expressed here in this blog are purposely mine and does not necessarily reflect ZEN Otaku Honbu’s position.
Last year, we launched “The Notebook” with our first blog post, titled “A Friend that I had,” which was posted exactly a year ago. Now, we will post our first ever April 21st Special with the same sadness, the same frustration, the same inner manic depressive things I always had in my mind. I have been living for 4 years without a rock, without a shoulder, without a crutch, without the dude I came to know as… Twist.

The Notebook Yearender 1: Ten Things I Expect for 2011
Dec 26th
This post starts our three-pronged Yearender posts. Wow, time really flies and it’s already 5 days to the End of the Year. We have come again on our heels, with our brand, spanking-new blog, a election, a change in government, all the events, and the changes in PH Television.. 2010 was, and is, really, a banner year.
So do we at Zen Otaku Honbu. We were quite low-key in the previous years, and now, with a website to kick-off 2010, plus a record breaking news output and up-to-the-minute updates on our Social Media sites. We became the hottest new kid on the block. We were feisty, yet responsible in bringing to you the latest news from the J-subculture as well as media news from our home country and elsewhere.
And to start our first Yearender on The Notebook. I would like to tell to you what things I really expect in 2011.. Some of them may be realistic, but others, well, I’m not really hoping it may come in 2011, eitherway, This may seem as a prediction or a wishlist (whatever you call it) on what will happen on TV, Anime, and even on my personal life.
Our 2nd yearender special, which is the Ten Events that defined PH Anime in 2010, will be out on 28 Dec and the Last Yearend special, the 2010 In Retrospective, will be out by 30 Dec.
Now. here is my Top Ten Things to Expect in 2011.
